What happens during this journey?
Explore
A family that plays together, stays together. The Everglades—one of the world's most stunning ecosystems—becomes your family's playground for five days. Paddle with dolphins, watch sunsets from secluded beaches, comb for seashells, and spot more birds than you've ever seen. Shared adventure breaks down walls and creates the moments that become 'remember when...' stories for years to come.
Unplug
Everyone's lives are busy. Leave your hectic schedule for 5 days of uninterrupted family time. No Wi-Fi. No work emails. No screens. Listen to the fire crackle, fall asleep under the stars, and recalibrate your rhythm to Mother Nature. When distractions disappear, real conversations begin.
Transform
Transformation happens around the campfire, through coached conversations, laughter, and silence. You'll learn to listen differently, communicate without defensiveness, and show up for each other in new ways. Walk away with practical tools and shared experiences that shift how your family connects—not just for this trip, but for years to come.

It’s not clinical or structured like therapy—just practical guidance and real conversations that happen naturally throughout the experience.
What does a typical day look like?
Mornings start with breakfast and a relaxed group check-in before launching canoes. You’ll paddle for a few hours with plenty of breaks to rest or swim. Afternoons are for setting up camp, enjoying the beach, and having time together. Evenings include dinner, campfire conversation, and a short reflection or coaching session before turning in for the night. Every day balances activity with space to unwind and reconnect.

Do we need to be experienced campers or paddlers?
Not at all. No prior canoeing or camping experience is required. All gear, training, and support are provided. Paddling days are designed for families and include frequent breaks. If you enjoy being outside, you’ll be right at home.
Where do we stay?
You’ll camp on beautiful, secluded beaches each night and stay in a hotel the night before the trip begins and the night after you return. All camping gear, meals, and supplies are included. We camp in high-quality tents and blow-up sleeping pads to rest upon, designed to give you space and comfort.
How is it different from therapy?
This isn’t therapy, it’s therapeutic. Coaching focuses on building communication, trust, and confidence through shared experience, not clinical treatment. You’ll come home with tools you can actually use every day, not just good intentions.
What if our family is not getting along right now?
That’s completely okay — most families don’t arrive perfectly in sync. This experience is designed to lower stress, ease tension, and help you reconnect in new ways.
If your family is currently in a significant crisis or needs intensive therapeutic support, this may not be the right fit at the moment. We’d love to talk with you and help point you in the right direction — please reach out so we can explore together
How much does it cost?
The total cost is $2,800 per person. The group size is small to keep the experience personal and supported.
